Dover Street Market

A lot of the time getting sent to different parts of London to collect fabric or deliver some of the collection to stores is an opportunity to see more of the capital. On my jaunts I always seem to find myself wandering into somewhere that looks 'artsy' or taking pictures of street art...or popping into a bakery for a doughnut. (Got to keep up my energy levels now haven't I?!) A lot of the time I do 'research,' ie. going shopping but I can't really include Dover Street Market as a shopping trip as it was a more a 'ilovethisbuti'vejustpickedituptoseethepriceandkeeledover' trip. The clothes in there are amazing, so many amazing designers and my faves Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto and Commes des Garcons are stocked there. So good to see the prints and designs close up and put my grubby paws on the fabric and then run away because I'd have to take out multiple loans to afford any of the clothes. I also got a little paranoid that the shop assistants (not sure if they can be classed as this as unsure how many people actually buy stuff, so more like a 'I'll stand here a lot and maybe say hello' kind of job) were looking at me and thought I was a shoplifter as it was pretty obvious I couldn't afford to buy anything. That and maybe because my feet were bleeding..(see previous post!)
